Tordue Salem, a Vanguard newspaper journalist covering the House of Representatives, has been missing since October 19.

The Clerk to the National Assembly , Ojo Amos, has expressed sadness over the disappearance of Tordue Salem, a Vanguard Correspondent covering the House of Representatives.

Worried by the development, Mr Ojo in his opening remarks at a two-day Capacity Building Workshop organised for journalists covering the National Assembly in Abuja said, on Monday, that he was deeply saddened by the incident. “I hereby use this medium to urge security personnel handling the disappearance of Mr Tordue Salem to be proactive and assiduous, so that we can get to the root of this singularly tormenting matter,” he said.

He urged National Assembly reporters to change the uncomplimentary narrative against the federal lawmakers by always putting the facts across to Nigerians as against mischievous comments often made to disparage the parliament.
